Welcome, Erika. FWIW, the Providence Cyclocross weekend includes a women's intro to cross clinic with included entry to the races (not sure if one or two). There was also mention of "limited" loaner bikes available.

Hello everyone, my name is Anna Maria and I just joined the team. I LOVE bikes! I'm an avid commuter turned aspiring racer. I'd like to focus mostly on road and track, but my commuter is a cross bike that could be used in case of emergency! Ive been known to get into some light touring and I'd love to try mountain biking. I run a women's cycling meetup, and am hoping to eventually bring some group members with me. I think it's a pretty exciting time to be a woman on kissena and I'm stoked to be here!

Welcome.

@Anna. You gotta at least TRY 'cross. Borrow some tyres and come to a 'cross clinic (e.g., Saturday at 10:30).
Welcome to the club!

Welcome Anna!
You have arrived just as Cross Mania is hitting its Zenith... Prepare to enjoy some extravagant conversations about tire glue, camber, and the dreaded... "Cinnabons of Deth!" Keep an eye out for posts by our High Priest of all things Cross, "The Hotlist"

Hey Anna Maria, it was great to meet & ride with you Sunday. Glad you pulled the trigger. Welcome!
Aug 28, 2013 at 08:52 PM
Welcom Anna Maria! It IS an exciting time for the women of Kissena. It seems like all of you are very motivated, enthusiastic members and that kind of energy is always good. I already have visions of the ny velocity chat rooms exploding with grumpiness complaining about how Kissena women are controlling the field in all the races. Just like they did when our cat 4 men forgot they weren't actually professional racers but decided to race like pros anyway.

Welcome Anna Maria

Welcome aboard Anna Maria! The thought of Kissena women taking the spring races by surprise is great winter training motivation! When are you meetups?

I saw your tweet. Just so you know, if you're racing and you need a jersey, just post either here or on the relevant race thread and peopel should be able to loan you one.

Welcome to the club! Did you say track...? Awesome! I'm Kieran, the club's track mentor. You definitely should come down to the velodrome whenever you can make it in the next few weeks. A couple of us are usually there on Sat and / or Sun. Check out the track training thread (under Training sub-forum) for more info. Plus check out the other track related threads for all sorts of other ramblings...(trips to T-Town (track in PA), upcoming races and more).
Cheers,
Kieran

A belated "official" welcome Anna Maria! Great to have you on the group ride a couple weeks ago, and looking forward to many more!

Hello everyone, I'm a new member and I just wanted to introduce myself. Coming from California, but been in Park Slope for three years now with my wife and two small kids and I'm looking forward to being a part of this club -- although i've been cycling for many years and have learned from some great people along the way, i've never raced and i'm looking forward to it in 2014. I would love to go on a morning group ride to get familiar with a few more of you. Please let me know, i would love to hear from you. cheers! Joel
